"Consequently, the DNA's production of natural chemicals, such as the anti-cancer drug Interleukin II and the anti-viral drug Interferon, begins to drop instantly and significantly. The cell's health and defensive capabilities are seriously compromised if the threat or stress persists over a period longer than just a few minutes or hours. (This kind of stress is a daily reality for millions of people in today's world.) Cells cannot fulfill their normal responsibilities when "under siege" for days, months, or even years." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Coconut oil has a high (50 percent-plus) lauric fatty acid and caprylic acid content, from which it derives its anti-parasitical, anti-viral, and anti-fungal properties. Those with intestinal problems such as Candida or other systemic infections can therefore benefit from the daily inclusion of coconut oil in their diet. Coconut oil can be added to nut mylks, dressings, desserts (acting as a thickener when chilled), and even soups. I do not recommend more than 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil daily because of its tendency to raise cholesterol in higher amounts." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"It is calming, antiseptic, anti-bacterial and anti-viral. It also helps to soften scar tissue. Rose oil can be diluted with carrier oil and applied to the affected area. Vitamin A and E ointment Vitamin A and E ointments have beneficial healing properties, plus they act as a barrier cream. This means that any irritants such as clothing, wiping and feminine hygiene products do not directly contact the skin and further irritate it. Witch Hazel Witch hazel is an excellent remedy for itching caused by hemorrhoids." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"John's Wort's anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and analgesic properties. St. John's Wort is no cure for major, crippling depression, and I don't for a moment want to give the impression that it is. But for many people suffering with mild forms of this debilitating condition, it may indeed be helpful. Like most treatments for depression, it takes a while to work. The PDR recommends that you try it for four to six weeks; if no improvement is apparent, try something different. The best preparation seems to be the St. John's Wort extract standardized to contain 0." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"A well-oxygenated cell also produces powerful anti-viral drugs, such as interferon. If for some reason a virus has made contact with a cell, but its presence is not beneficial to the body, the virus will be destroyed by the cell's defense mechanisms or the general immune system. Viruses do not help cells mutate into cancer cells, unless this is in the best interest of the body. We should not fall into the trap of misinterpreting this to be an act of self-destruction." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"It is not a symptom of a disease, but is actually part of the body's anti-viral immune system. The body may also raise its temperature to speed a cleansing process.1 When toxins build to a certain level in the body, germs or viruses enter to scavenge on wastes and in so doing, produce toxic wastes of their own. Viruses multiply very well at normal body temperature 98.6°f (37°c). However, they are unable to live and multiply at temperatures above ioi°f (38.3°c)." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"John's Wort heals nervous conditions and is anti-viral, for which I like to make an alcohol tincture to ingest. The soul of St. John's Wort can protect one from psychic attack or envidia. Because flower essences can often carry the soul imprint of a plant, a flowet essence would be useful in this case. As a wound herb St. John's wort is excellent both for physical wounds and ones in the energetic body. A strong signature of St. John's wort is perforations on the leaves and the bloodlike color exuded from the plant." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"Unlike many other plants, flax seed has a special fiber called lignin that our body converts to lignans, which help to build up the immune system and have specific anti-cancer, anti-fungal, and anti-viral properties. High levels of lignans are associated with reduced rates of colon and breast cancer. Just 10 grams, or about one to two teaspoons of flax seed oil per day, raises levels of the lignans significantly. A third advantage of the flax seed oil over fish oil is that fish and fish oil are high in cholesterol." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "Zinc seems to have a protective effect against beta cell destruction as well as anti-viral effects. Increased urinary zinc excretion appears to contribute to the marginal zinc nutritional status that has been observed in diabetics,150 and it needs supplementation for that reason. Zinc supplementation has been shown to improve insulin levels of both Type-1 and Type-2 diabetics.151 Zinc also helps with wound healing, a phenomenon frequently observed in diabetics. Zinc deficiencies in diabetics are associated with excess free radical activity, and the increased oxidation of fats." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"While drugs may offer a single, isolated anti-viral chemical, these anti-viral herbs and products pack dozens (or even hundreds) of synergistic phytochemicals that destroy viruses and bolster immune system function. To learn more about the bird flu and specific strategies for protecting yourself from infection (as well as preparing for the inevitable consequences of a national pandemic), you may want to read How to Beat the Bird Flu at www.TruthPublishing.com Products to consider for infectious disease: ** Protector 2000 (www.DragonHerbs.com) Sangre de Drago (www.Rain-Tree.com or www." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"A component of licorice known as glycyrrhizin appears to have an anti-viral action, as well as a direct protective effect on the liver. An injectable form of glycyrrhizin known as Stronger Neo-Minophagen C (SNMC) has been used widely in Japan to treat hepatitis. In one study, 133 patients with chronic hepatitis received 40 ml of SNMC or a placebo intravenously, daily for 40 days. Patients given the licorice extract improved to a significantly greater extent than those receiving the placebo." - Jonathan V. Wright, M.D. and Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Natural Medicine, Optimal Wellness: The Patient's Guide to Health and Healing (Get the book.)

"It is an estrogen-like molecule that has strong anti-viral, and antihistamine action. In laboratory dish studies, quercetin was found to inhibit prostate cancer growth. [Nutrition Cancer 38: 116-22, 2000] When quercetin is combined with the drug finasteride (Propecia), it reduces prostate gland weight in animals. [Journal Endocrinology 181: 493-507, 2004] Quercetin inhibits genes involved in the growth of prostate cancer cells." - Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.)

"It has also anti-viral, anti-ulcer activity. In addition, broccoli is a super source of chromium that helps regulate insulin and blood sugar. Note for the Vata type: You may still benefit somewhat from broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables if you cook them with a good amount of oil or butter. Cabbage—The Romans' Cancer Cure Cabbage was revered in ancient Rome as a cancer cure. Today, we know its cancer-curing effects are from its numerous anti-cancer and antioxidant compounds." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) "Allergies and asthma indicate that the body has increased its production of histamine, the neurotransmitter responsible for regulating water metabolism and water distribution, as well as antibacterial and anti-viral activities. In a well-hydrated body, foreign agents such as bacteria, viruses, chemicals and proteins as found in pollen, are neutralized quite easily without the need to raise histamine levels to an exaggerated level. Histamine activity becomes exaggerated when the body becomes dehydrated, which may occur due to the presence of toxins or insufficient water consumption." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"It is considered to be anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal because these organisms cannot live in an oxygen-rich environment. It is also said to have antioxidant stimulating capabilities. This process normally uses an oxygen generator connected with an ozone generator to produce precisely controlled amounts of ozone. It may be introduced into the body in a variety of ways including: 1) Ingestion: drinking water or consuming olive oil that has been infused with ozone. 2) Rectal Insufflation: introducing ozone through the colon." - Alan E. Smith, UnBreak Your Health: The Complete Guide to Complementary & Alternative Therapies (Get the book.)

"One of the active ingredients in licorice is glycyrrhizen, which has both anti-viral and antiinflammatory effects. This component of licorice is widely used in Japan as a specific treatment for hepatitis. It's given intravenously there, but active components of licorice absorb well by mouth. Please use 2 grams of ground or powdered licorice root twice daily. However, there is a precaution—have your blood pressure checked regularly. It's not common, but licorice in large quantities can lead to sodium retention, potassium loss, and elevated blood pressure." "That should be easy enough to track." - Jonathan V. Wright, M.D. and Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Natural Medicine, Optimal Wellness: The Patient's Guide to Health and Healing (Get the book.)

"Castor oil acids are anti-absorbative and hydragogic. The anti-viral effect of Ricini semen has been proven in experiments. INDICATIONS AND USAGE Internally, the drug is used as a purgative in the treatment of acute constipation, intestinal inflammation, worms and as a form of birth control. Externally, the seeds and leaves are used in powder form as a poultice for inflammatory skin disorders, boils, carbuncles, abscesses, inflammation of the middle ear and migraine." - Joerg Gruenwald, Ph.D., PDR for Herbal Medicines (Get the book.)

"Wright's use of vitamin C,1 zinc,2 licorice extract,3 and selenium4 is based on their reported anti-viral effects. Nutritional Supplements Vitamin E In one study, 13 patients with chronic post-zoster neuralgia were given vitamin E orally (400 to 1,600 IU per day), and applied the vitamin to the skin at the area of discomfort. Nine of the 13 patients experienced complete or almost complete relief of pain and the others had slight or moderate relief. Two of the patients who were cured had had painful neuralgia for 13 and 19 years, respectively." - Jonathan V. Wright, M.D. and Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Natural Medicine, Optimal Wellness: The Patient's Guide to Health and Healing (Get the book.)

"Animal Fats Raw animal fats are typically saturated, so they are not as strong in their cleansing abilities as monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fats, therefore they do not directly help detoxify the body, but certain saturated fats such as lauric acid, found in raw milk and butter are helpful as anti-viral agents. Animal flesh fats are particularly dangerous today, not only because they bring some form of karmic energy upon the consumer from the animal's death, but primarily because they contain stored toxins collected from the environment." - David Wolfe, The Sunfood Diet Success System (Get the book.)

"FROZEN STRAWBERRY AND PINEAPPLE COOLER 2 cups frozen strawberries (or other berries) 1 large pineapple Raw honey, to taste Strawberries have an anti-viral effect and help prevent heart disease and cancer due to their powerful antioxidant properties. Strawberries appear to block one of the most powerful cancer-forming substances, nitrosamines. They are also high in pectin, a water-soluble fiber that helps reduce cholesterol significantly. They are also high in polyphenols, powerful antioxidants." - Mary-Ann Shearer, Perfect Health the Natural Way (Get the book.)

"Elashoff made a pointed, compelling presentation to the anti-viral Drugs Advisory Committee, detailing the flaws and showing how the drug caused dangerous bronchospasm in the elderly, the very population Ingram had positioned Relenza to serve. He then drove the stake in by concluding that "more Relenza patients compared to placebo patients had a recurrence of the symptoms." The committee voted against approval of Relenza. Although advisory committee recommendations are just that, the FDA often follows the advice. Ingram was outraged." - Greg Critser, Generation Rx: How Prescription Drugs are Altering American Lives, Minds, and Bodies (Get the book.)

"John's wort also has anti-viral properties. Take 300 mg or 4 ml of tincture three times a day. Capsaicin cream is available in two strengths: 0.025 and 0.075%. Both preparations are indicated for use in neuralgia and should be applied sparingly to the affected area three to four times daily. Treatment should continue for several weeks as the benefit may be delayed. Capsaicin creams are approved over-the-counter drugs and should be used as directed. You may feel a burning or stinging sensation when this cream is first applied, but the pain will subside." - Marshall Editions, 1000 Cures for 200 Ailments: Integrated Alternative and Conventional Treatments for the Most Common Illnesses (Get the book.) "Look for topical products with glycyrrhizin, often combined with anti-viral medicines such as idoxuridine. A synthetic form of glycyrrhizin, carbenoxolone, has also been used topically to treat herpes lesions. 743 DIAGNOSIS Hirsutism is the abnormal growth of hair in women. It is usually classified as hair growth in a male pattern, for example thick hair on the face, chest, and stomach—areas where most women would not normally expect to grow hair. This condition usually first appears during puberty." - Marshall Editions, 1000 Cures for 200 Ailments: Integrated Alternative and Conventional Treatments for the Most Common Illnesses (Get the book.) "Take 500 mg of lomatium root four times a day for its antiviral and immune-enhancing properties. An anti-viral compound in St. John's Wort, called hypericin, helps kill herpes simplex and several other viruses to help heal sores. 741 Brew a strong tea made from the herb, and, after it cools, dab it on the affected area. You can also take 300 mg three times a day of an extract standardized to contain 0.3% hypericin. TIP: MINIMIZE YOUR STRESS LEVELS Sufficient sleep is critical for maintaining an optimal resistance to herpes outbreaks and relieving stress." - Marshall Editions, 1000 Cures for 200 Ailments: Integrated Alternative and Conventional Treatments for the Most Common Illnesses (Get the book.)

"Conventional therapy consists mainly of anti-viral drugs, which are helpful to some extent. However, these drugs are rather expensive, and they can cause side effects. DR. WRIGHT'S CASE STUDY "T, It's this herpes thing," Jim McAllister said. Its breaking out more and more often. Between herpes and work and kids, Judy and I haven't gotten together in months. I don't know if she's frustrated, but I am." "I've been just as frustrated trying to get him to see you for the last several years about simply staying healthy," Judy McAllister said. " - Jonathan V.

"Scopoletin also acts as an antifungal (which assists in fighting Candida), an antihistamine, an anti-viral, and an anti-inflammatory, as well as reducing high blood pressure by dilating blood vessels. Although noni juice is naturally acidic, (with an extremely low pH of 3.4 to 3.8), it has a pH balancing (or neutralizing) effect on the body. Dr. R. Lindsey Duncan, president and CEO of Genesis Today?" - Dr. David W. Tanton; Ph.D., A Drug-Free Approach To Healthcare, Revised Edition (Get the book.)

"Interferons also have anti-viral activity. Since synthetic interferons can be very toxic, Cameron's advice, "Take more vitamin C and make your own interferon!" seems sensible and is exactly what the patient did. Vitamin C is required for the synthesis of the Cl-esterase component of complement. Without vitamin C, complement is not activated. Higher doses of vitamin C result in higher complement output.93 As there is some suggestion that complement also does not always function normally in Myeloma,95 there is a rationale for supporting its optimal production." - Michael Gearin-Tosh, Living Proof: A Medical Mutiny (Get the book.)

"Another great benefit is that many essential oils have strong anti-viral properties whereas antibiotics have no effect on viruses. Non-healing incisions containing cancer tissue can be successfully treated with EO because these essences increase blood supply which encourages healing and damages malignant tissue which can not tolerate tissue oxygen. Quick healing occurs in all nonhealing ulcers with EO usage and many chronic dermatitis problems also respond favorably to topical EO." - James A. Howenstine, A Physician's Guide to Natural Health Products That Work (Get the book.)
